The 2017 commemorative ornament is available for purchase for $10 at Berkeley Hardware, Halls Garden Center & Florist, and on December 2 during Santa's Arrival, the Tree Lighting and Winter Walk.

Lucinda Hayes's illustration graces the 2017 ornament. Berkeley Heights Municipal Building has been in use for more than 70 years, when the population was less than a third of what it is today.
